And your wife And your settee Don't want to be mistreated by neo-bourgeoisie I'm in a bourgeois town I'm in a bourgeois town I'm in a bourgeois town Spread the news around Open newspaper What do i see A politician with kids doing the best for me I'm in a bourgeois town I'm in a bourgeois town I'm in a bourgeois blues Spread the news around Get on a bus Keep head down A DG gets on sits opposite like a clown A bourgeois town I'm in a bourgeois town I've got the bourgeois blues Spread the news around I've got the bourgeois blues In a bourgeois town And i go to park For fresh air I look around there's loads of beach bums and men with shaven hair
I've got the bourgeois blues I've got the bourgeois blues I'm in a bourgeois town Spread the news around I open mail For letters from friends Or maybe cheques All I get is demands from the C.O. Exchequer I'm in a bourgeois town I'm in a bourgeois city I've got the bourgeois blues Spread the news around Get on a train To get out of town Sat opposite a politician with his head held down Walk back streets To fresh air I meet a journalist with no money for beer I'm in a bourgeois town I'm in a bourgeois town I'm in a bourgeois town
